[cisco-voip] internal numbers ID masking

[Kevin Thorngren]

Right, I missed Ed's statement of "and of course, all masked as 
something different" :-)  As Lelio mentioned the easiest way is to 
Restrict the Calling Line ID and Calling Name (if appropriate) in the 
Translation Pattern.  There is no easy mechanism to change the Caller 
ID on a phone by phone basis.  One could write a script to query a DB 
and mask the Caller ID based on the source of the call.  This way only 
the DB would need to be updated.  To make it seamless all internal 
calls should be intercepted by this script but it could be built so 
only those phones that need to mask the Caller ID are intercepted.  
Building a system that would be robust enough to handle the call volume 
might be a challenge and potentially costly.

I would agree that having the ability to restrict the Caller ID info 
from the phone would be best.  Interesting changes would be the ability 
to restrict the ID and Name and also an Internal Phone Number Mask.  
Not sure if either of these are on the roadmap.
